Chapter 389: Collusion with Foreign Enemies
Cheng Xi agrees with Xu Sanlang's behavior, he has already caused this rumor storm, and he is afraid that he will be more sensitive to the issue of the position of the son of this world in the future.
Even now everyone believes that Xu Saburo does not covet the position of the prince, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not doubt it in the future, this time is an example, casually provoked, Zhao Yu, who has a good relationship with her, actually doubted it, if the edge is too revealing at this time, I am afraid that it will become the key point of everyone's suspicion in the future, it is better to be low-key and low-key, it is best to think that the two of them are a pair of rural barbarians and village girls who have no knowledge and no city government, so that others will not tolerate them, and they can live in peace.
In fact, before coming to Jiangnan, Cheng Xi never thought that there would be such a thing, but they didn't have such a mind, and they didn't go down to this side at all, but they didn't expect that after coming here, they would have to face such trouble.
Cheng Xi was still thinking nonsense, Aunt Qin came in from outside, saying that dinner was ready, whether to send it in, Cheng Xi nodded in response, Xu Sanlan and Wen Yuan Gongzi also ended their topic, a few people went to the table, Xiaoshi also came back from outside with a hundred years old, and a few people sat around a table or had dinner.
After dinner, Cheng Xi originally wanted to talk to them for a while, and asked about the current situation outside, but Xu Sanlang, who didn't want to have a bad mind before, asked Xiaoshi to coax Baisui back to sleep, and hurriedly sent Wenyuan Gongzi and Ruyu, so he couldn't wait to pull Cheng Xi back to the house.
In the face of such an anxious Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi was speechless, but he didn't stop it, and let him toss it.
After some warmth, Cheng Xi didn't sleep this time, but nestled in Xu Sanlang's arms, and asked, "Based on the current situation, when do you think we can go back to Anyang County?" ”
Xu Sanlang's hand was still shuttling back and forth on Cheng Xi's body, and he replied softly, "If it is according to what Gongzi Wenyuan said, for the time being, he will only defend and not attack, and if he wants to end everything, I am afraid that it will be the fastest speed, at least half a year." ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly when he heard this, but he also knew in his heart that he was weighing the severity of the crisis, and said loudly, "You can't mess up because you're in a hurry, you still have to follow the plan step by step, so the chances of winning are better." ”
Xu Saburo replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I am measured, and I still want to go back to Lihua Village with you to live a stable life, so we can only win and not lose." ”
But how can this success or failure be easily predicted or swayed, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart, and the words that came out of his mouth were encouragement and trust, "I believe in you." ”
Xu Saburo didn't speak again, and the room fell silent for a while, and after a while, Xu Saburo spoke, "There has been a move in the capital, I'm afraid it won't be long before I should go to the battlefield." ”
Cheng Xi's body couldn't help but tremble, what is the battlefield, of course Cheng Xi understands, thinking that Xu Sanlang is about to go to the battlefield, Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and stroked Xu Sanlang's naked body, those old and various old wounds on it, Cheng Xi said, "Don't get hurt again." ”
Xu Saburo responded, "Don't worry, with my current identity, I only need to sit in the army when I go to the battlefield, and I don't need to go to the battlefield to charge into battle, and I will be fine." ”
Cheng Xi was a little relieved when he heard this, but Xu Sanlang understood in his heart that sometimes just sitting in the army and not taking the lead in killing the enemy, how could he stabilize the morale of the army, he could only try not to get injured and not let Cheng Xi worry.
Cheng Xi snuggled tightly into Xu Sanlang's arms and said softly, "I really want to go to the battlefield with you." ”
Xu Saburo frowned slightly, and said, "What nonsense? It seems that you are not sleepy, you keep talking, why don't we do something again? ”
While speaking, Xu Sanlang's hand was not honest, Cheng Xi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xu Sanlang's hand that was messing around in the quilt, and answered, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi closed his eyes in a regular manner and stopped talking, planning to sleep.
In the next few days, the men of Ruiwang's Mansion became more and more busy, and the women still had nothing to do as before, and there were men carrying them when the sky fell.
Princess Rui intends to repair the relationship with Cheng Xi, and Cheng Xi has become more and more diligent in the past, Cheng Xi has analyzed the pros and cons, and he has adjusted his mentality, and the relationship seems to have returned to the same as before, Princess Rui still loves Cheng Xi, and Cheng Xi still respects Princess Rui.
Life goes by like this, although Cheng Xi feels that the days are too boring, but he can only endure it, in order to prevent Princess Rui from having any more opinions about her, Cheng Xi no longer goes out of the house, and most of the time he stays obediently in the small courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the first month of the new year was almost over, and the army on the side of the capital began to press towards the south of the Yangtze River step by step, this action was fast, and it seemed that the emperor of the capital was getting more and more impatient.
When Xu Sanlang and Gongzi Wen Yuan finally came back early, Cheng Xi grabbed the two of them and asked about the situation.
Still sitting around the charcoal brazier, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Saburo and asked, "Why is the capital moving so fast?" Why do I think this emperor is a little too impatient? ”
I heard Xu Saburo answer, "Do you remember that I told you before that I found the people of Xia Guo in the detailed work?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded and said in surprise, "What, this emperor is really in cahoots with Xia Guo to deal with his own people?" ”
Xu Sanlang nodded, "Eight or nine are not far from ten, the news sent by Xue Dashao said that the emperor met the three princes of Xia at the beginning of the year, and left the three princes alone in the palace for one night, and then sent back to the post station the next day." ”
Cheng Xi continued to ask in surprise, "Then did you find out about the purpose of Xia Guo?" ”
On the side, Prince Wen Yuan explained for Cheng Xi, "The three princes of the Xia Kingdom hold one-third of the military power of the Xia Kingdom, but they have no reason to be the crown prince, because the Xia Kingdom already has a capable prince, or the eldest son of the queen, with the support of a strong maternal family, if these three princes want to ascend to that high position, I am afraid they need to rely on the power of other countries; The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty happened to lack troops, and the three princes just lacked the support of other countries, didn't this happen to hit it off? ”
Cheng Xi said, "So, the 400,000 troops in the capital, and the people of the Xia Kingdom?"
Xu Saburo nodded, "Yingdao, "We were still wondering before, how the capital had gathered 400,000 troops, and it just so happened that the troops under the three princes of the Xia Kingdom were stationed on the border of Xia and Zhou. ”
Cheng Xi sighed when he heard this, "This emperor is really a good means, no wonder they are so eager, it turns out that the troops are seconded and want to fight quickly." ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan responded, "This is only one reason, another reason, I heard that Emperor Xia Guo saw that the crown prince was so capable, and he wanted to be the shopkeeper in advance. ”
Cheng Xi said, "So the third prince of the Xia Kingdom is also in a hurry, it's good to be in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, if you are in a hurry, you will be in a panic, and this war will have a few more chances of winning." ”
Prince Wen Yuan responded, "Yes, I also sent some news to my friends in Xia Kingdom by the way, presumably this prince of Xia Kingdom will not let his younger brother take his Xia Kingdom's army to help other countries fight." ”
Cheng Xi gave a thumbs up to Gongzi Wen Yuan and continued to ask, "Then you still follow the previous plan and only defend and not attack for the time being?" ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan replied with a smile, "Aren't they in a hurry, then spend it first, let's not be in a hurry, when there is a move on the Xia side, and the capital side is also arranged, it will not be too late for us to attack again." ”
After listening to this series of plans, Cheng Xi's heart was a little calmer, and he heard Xu Saburo speak, "We'll be ready to leave tomorrow." ”
Cheng Xi said, why did you come back so early today, as soon as Xu Sanlang finished speaking, Ah Long reported at the door, saying that there were people from the main hall and asked them all to come over for dinner.
Knowing that Xu Sanlang and the others were going to the battlefield tomorrow, Cheng Xi understood that this was the meal that he was going to the main hall to see them off.
Cheng Xi nodded in response, and asked Ah Long to reply to the people in the main hall, saying that they would go over in a while, and then looked at Xu Sanlang and asked, "All of them are going to the battlefield?" ”
Xu Sanlang paused, but still told Cheng Xi honestly, "King Rui, they are going to the military camp to sit in battle, I may ...... and go to the front line." ”
Cheng Xi felt a little sad in his heart, and he was very helpless, so he couldn't stop it, so he could only sigh and say, "Let's go over to eat first, don't make everyone wait for a long time." ”
Xu Sanlang nodded, and then the group simply cleaned up, and then went to the main hall, of course, this meal was very heavy, and the faces of the women were not very good, Cheng Xi lowered his head and did not speak the whole time, Princess Rui finished this and that with a worried face, Zhao Yu's eyes were slightly red and she also remained silent.
King Rui looked at this scene and was slightly irritable, so he couldn't help but scold, "What are you doing with a bitter face? We're going to go on a campaign, not to die......"
Before King Rui's words were finished, he was slapped on the arm by Princess Rui on the side, glaring at King Rui angrily and reprimanding, "Can you speak?" What are you going to die, what nonsense are you, aren't we worried about you, a bunch of people with no conscience. ”
When King Rui opened his mouth, the innocent Ge Shu and Xu Sanlang were also scolded, Xu Sanlang didn't hear it, completely ignored it, finished serving Cheng Xi, and then served the 100-year-old vegetables.
Ge Shu glared at King Rui dissatisfied, anyway, this Ge Shu didn't take the majesty of his Lao Tzu in his eyes at all, and he liked to challenge the majesty of his Lao Tzu the most.
King Rui was reprimanded by Princess Rui, and the majesty on his face disappeared in an instant, and he cautiously accompanied his own princess on the side.
Cheng Xi looked at this scene, although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with King Rui, but I have to say that King Rui is still a good man, a good man with all his heart, but he is not a good father, thinking about Ge Shu and Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi felt that his father was incompetent at all, one was left in the countryside, and the other was trapped in the capital as a proton, and they all suffered a lot.
